Population Projections for Ethiopia


2007-2037

Addis Ababa
July 2013
FOREWORD
One of the objectives of the recently concluded Inter-Censal Population Survey was to collect up to date
demographic information and inputs for population projection, information the country cannot afford to wait
for until the results of the next census are available. Consequently, the Census Commission Office approved
this national and regional population projection based on the results of the 2007 PHC; the 2000, 2005 and
2011 EDHS; and the 2012 ICPS data. The population projection presented in this report was made for 30
years (2007-2037), fewer than three variants of future change in fertility, mortality and migration Ethiopia.

The base population for the projection was obtained from the 2007 Population and Housing Census for each
of the regions and adjusted to the mid of the census year, 1 July 2007. The fertility inputs that is, Total
Fertility Rate, for each of the regions were derived from the three EDHS conducted in the years 2000, 2005
and 2011; 2007 PHC; and 2012 ICPS. The mortality input which is life expectancy at birth was estimated
from the 2007 PHC mortality data while the migration inputs were derived from the 2012 ICPS data. All
the inputs were adjusted to the base year of the projection. The SPECTRUM Computer software was
adopted for the projection for 9 regions and 2 city administrations, the results of which was aggregated to
obtain the national projected results corresponding to the three variants used.

Assumptions were made on the future decline of fertility with reference to changes in the use of family
planning methods, the gains that would be expected in life expectancy under the prevailing mortality
conditions, and future trends of inter-regional migration that would result from the socio economic
developments expected in future years. These expected developments will surely affect the urbanization
process in the country. Assumptions regarding the future trend in urban development were also made and
utilized as inputs for this projection.

The Census Commission Office is positive that the results of this projection will serve as a valuable input for
planning and monitoring purposes by the Federal and Regional Governments and Non-Government
institutions working in different sectors.

The Census Commission Office is grateful to Mr. K. Narayana Unni, the ICPS Technical Adviser, for
supporting the activities of the ICPS and engaging with experts of the Population Statistics Directorate in
carefully selecting the necessary inputs, making assumptions and generating the projections figures. The
Office is also grateful to UNFPA for the financial and material support in recruiting the Technical Adviser
and organizing a consultation workshop with stakeholders and academia which helped to obtain valuable
suggestions and recommendations for this projection.

INTRODUCTION

Censuses and surveys provide actual counts and estimates of population on a specific date.
Population forecasts or population projections as such forecasts are known, are necessary for the
purposes of development planning. Population change, being affected by births, deaths and
migrations, it is necessary to have data on these components so that their trends into the future can
be predicted. The course that these components would take is not easy to predict in most
developing countries as their changes are affected by several factors population and health
policies and related programs, cost of health care, education, communication, employment
opportunities, income levels, etc.. The non availability of data, varying quality of available data,
lack of enough research on determinants of the levels and changes in fertility and mortality, etc.,
add to the uncertainties in making population projections and consequently on the projected
population figures as well.

Government of Ethiopia is investing huge amount of resources for the economic


transformation of the country under the Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP) aimed at bringing
in accelerated economic development. There is also corresponding investments in health sector
including public health and family planning. These would have tremendous impact on the
population growth and its distribution across the regions of the country. Population projections
were last made before the Government had started these initiatives. The last population census was
conducted in 2007. Ethiopia has also conducted three Demographic and Health Surveys in 200,
2005 and 2011that gives new insights into the changes in fertility, child mortality and family
planning performance. So there is a need to prepare new population projections for the country that
would take into account all the recently available data on various parameters affecting population
growth.

As mentioned earlier population projections depend on the available data and the ability to
project the components of population change. Ethiopia has very little time series data on
population, fertility and mortality and even lesser data on migration. The absence of a functional
Civil Registration and Vital Statistics System (CRVS) makes it difficult have good data on fertility
and mortality and also to evaluate the consistency between data from two successive censuses. In
this scenario, many of the assumptions, including base level estimates, may not be accurate and it
can result in substantive under/over estimation of population at future dates. The changes taking
place under the Growth and Transformation Plan in the country would help reducing fertility and
mortality and increase urbanization and may also result in higher levels of internal migration.
However, the direct and indirect effects of the changes in these components of population growth
are difficult to measure and project into the future. With all these issues on hand, projections for the
country can, at best, be taken only as indicators of the future course of population change under the
assumptions that have been made. Censuses and availability detailed data from surveys would help
in refining the projections in future.

Compared to projections at national level, those at regional level are much more difficult to
make as survey data on fertility and mortality are more affected by sampling fluctuations; and
internal migration within the country are more difficult to predict as there are little or no restrictions
on people's movement within the country. In smaller regions even a small economic or agricultural
development can bring in a number of people from outside or situations like flood and drought can
1
result in out-migration. Though the number of people involved in such migration may be small, it
would have significant impact on the growth rates of such regions.

This report provides the population projections and the assumptions used in working out
the population projections. Chapter 2 discusses the initial population data. Chapters 3 and 4
respectively discuss the assumptions on fertility and mortality while chapters 5 and 6 respectively
discuss migration and urbanization. Chapter 7 briefly discusses the projection results while chapter
8 provides some of the implications of the results for planning exercises in the country.

The rationale for various assumptions used in the projections has been discussed in the
chapters 3 to 6. Central Statistical Agency (CSA), with the support from UNFPA, organized an
Expert Consultation on various issues relating to population projections. The minutes of this
consultation are given in the annex. This consultation was attended by several non-governmental
and international organizations. Individual consultations were also made with some expert
demographers who could not attend the Expert Consultation. In addition, consultations were made
with His Excellency the Federal Minister for Urban Development and Construction on the plans
and likely course f urbanization; and the officials of the Federal Ministry of Health on the likely
levels of fertility and mortality. CSA benefited substantially from these consultations in
formulating the assumptions and working out the projections.

Based on the past experience of CSA and the suggestions that came out during the Expert
Consultation, component method of projection has been used for all regions of the country. This
required making assumptions on fertility, mortality and migration for all regions of the country.
Due to the reasons mentioned earlier, it is likely that some of the assumptions may not hold good
into the future as there may be changes that would warrant changes in the assumptions and
consequently, the projections. There would also be new data that would become available in future
from surveys and censuses which give opportunities to evaluate the assumptions and also revise the
projections.

As it is not possible to project all variables with certainty, instead of providing exact
estimates, the possible variations have been estimated to provide various scenarios of population
into the future. These scenarios are based on fertility and urbanization assumptions and give an
idea about the possible variation in population if assumptions on these are not satisfied. In case of
mortality, no such scenarios have been prepared as the impact small changes in mortality levels on
the number of survivors is very small.

BASE POPULATION
The major source of population data in the country is the population census. The last
census was conducted in 2007. The Inter Censal Population Survey (ICPS), 20121 also collected
information on population size. However, the estimates from the survey are based on sample and
have an associated sampling error. The larger sample sizes in two of the regions helped in arriving
at reliable estimates with low sampling error for those regions. For other regions the sampling
errors are much higher. On the other hand the census estimates, in comparison, does not suffer
from this issue. In addition, the general consistency of the ICPS results with the census count of the
population also favours the use of census data. In view of this the population counted in census
2007 has been used as the base population.

During the 2007 census, population of some areas that were not included in specific
regions were shown separately as Special Enumeration Areas. These areas together had a
population of 96,751. These areas being very small in population size, were not given any special
treatment in any of the subsequent surveys, with the result that there are no data on parameters that
can be used for population Projections for these areas. In the absence of any data it is difficult
make reliable projections for this area separately. In view of this it has been assumed that the
population of these areas would have grown in the same rate as that of the average growth rate for
the country. The national level projections have been adjusted to take this into account.

One of the major inputs for a projection exercise is the data on age distribution of
population. As in most developing countries, the quality data on age sex distribution in Ethiopia
also suffers from two kinds of errors age distortions due to digital preferences and (ii) omission of
children at younger ages. These errors lead to an unreliable age distribution that, if used for
projection without any correction, can result in absurd results for some years into the future. The
effects of digital preferences are nullified to some extend when one uses data that are grouped into
convenient age groups like five year age groups. However, even that may not make the data
completely error free as some of the digital and numeric preferences are such that the age is
misstated across age groups. So the data needs to be corrected for such errors and more reliable age
distribution worked out before proceeding with projections. Secondly the omission of children
which is higher at younger would have long term impact on the projections. When they grow up
and enter the reproductive age group, their numbers are understated resulting in the number of
children born to them also being underestimated.

The smoothing of age data is expected to remove to a substantial extent the errors due to
age misstatements. However, if there is under-enumeration of children, it would not always be
corrected by smoothing procedures. There are several methods of age smoothing available.
Depending on the perceived quality of the age data, one or other of the method is used. In
smoothing of the age data from 2007 census, the strong method of smoothing has been used. Table
2.1 provides a comparison of the original (unsmoothed) and smoothed age data at the national level.
This table is provided for illustrative purpose only. For actual practice the national level smoothed
data were obtained by aggregation of the regional level data and hence may be slightly different
from the figures given in table 2.1. It shows the changes due to smoothing at the five year group
level. It may be noted that the population in the age group 0-4 has increased and that in age group
5-9 reduced to adjust for the heaping at age 5. Some similar changes have been done in other age

3
groups also. As there are no data on the extent of omission of children, no adjustment could be
made on this account.

The same procedure was used for all regions to smooth the data. It has been noticed that
in some cases, even the smoothed data contain age distributions that seem to be somewhat
unreliable, with more population being observed in age group 5-9 compared to age group 0-4. This
can occur only when birth rate has fallen significantly over the previous five years compared to the
population growth rate. There is no reason to believe that this has happened in areas like Affar.
However, in the absence of any further information that could be used for correcting the age
distribution, these have been left without any further adjustment. The impact of this fluctuation in
the age distribution is a slight over estimation of the number of births in 2017-22 and under-
estimation of a similar number during 2022-27. Considering that the total population size of the
regions affected by such errors is only a small proportion of the population of the country, its
impact at national level is negligible.

regions except Affar and Somali, where it was 28th November. For the purpose of ensuring that all
population figures refer to the same date and also to ensure international comparability, all
population figures have been adjusted to the mid-year, i.e., 1st July 2007.

Chapter 3
PROJECTION OF FERTILITY

In the absence of migration, births and deaths together determine the quantum of
population growth. In most of the countries population is increasing due to excess of births over
deaths. The number of births that takes place decide the future population growth as well as the
structure of the future population by age. It is a difficult component to project into the future as it
can be directly or indirectly affected by many components of the population policy and
programmes, like those for increased use of contraception, increasing age at marriage, increasing
interval between child births, etc. On the other hand programs for reducing child mortality,
increasing literacy and education levels, increasing access to health facilities, etc., would indirectly
result in changes in fertility behaviour.

Ethiopia is going through a demographic transition from high fertility, high mortality to a
low fertility low mortality scenario. Though the country has entered the transition phase, all the
regions are not at the same transition phase. This would imply that the future changes in fertility
would also not be uniform across the regions. This section examines the available data on fertility,
its trends and arrives at some alternate scenarios for fertility changes that have been used for
population projections.

3.1. Base level estimates


The country does not have any regular time series data on fertility or vital rates, either
from civil registration or from surveys and censuses. The sources of available data are censuses and
the three Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) conducted in 2000, 2005 and 2011 and the Inter
Censal population Survey (ICPS), 2012. The estimates from census are based on the question on
births in the preceding year. It is well known that such data are affected by reference period errors
and omission of the births due to response errors. In a huge exercise like census it is impossible to
control all such errors. There are adjustment procedures for taking care of such errors. However,
when fertility is falling, some of these procedures are known to overestimate the fertility levels.
The estimates from DHS are based on Birth History data, which is known to produce reliable
estimates when all births to the woman are listed and the estimates are based on a three/five year
period instead of a single year. The ICPS also collected Birth history data and prepared estimates
comparable with DHS.

Table 3.1 presents the estimates from census, DHSs and ICPS. For estimates from DHS
the standard error (SE), a measure of the possible error due to sampling. It is expected that for large
samples, the probability of the actual value of the parameter being within 2 SE of the estimated
value, is 95%. There is considerable variation across the country in the levels of fertility as well as
in its change over time. The estimates for Somali based from DHS 2011 are out of tune with other
estimates for the region. This may, partly, be due to the difficulties in conducting the survey
resulting in the estimates being based on smaller samples. The small difference between the census
estimates and the DHS based estimates probably indicate that Fertility decline is yet to set in there.
The estimates from ICPS refer to 2011 and are so close to the estimates from EDHS that the
differences are not statistically significant in most cases. Allowance also needs to be made for some
5
small change in fertility levels between the surveys. One exception is Addis Ababa where the last
two DHSs estimated TFR to be as low as 1.4-1.5 whereas the estimate from ICPS is 1.8. The
former would mean that on an average a couple would have only 1.5 children during their life time.
This would eventually result in reducing population in the region but for migration. It appears that
the estimate from ICPS, based on a much larger sample, is more reliable.

5. For Somali region, in census and ICPS the reference date is 6 months later while for Affar the estimates from
census has a reference date six months later.

One of the major factors that impact fertility is the level of contraceptive usage measured
by Contraceptive Prevalence Rates (CPR). There are no regular data on contraceptive usage. The
Demographic and Health Surveys conducted in 2000, 2005 and 2011 collected data on CPR. As per
the results, the country has achieved significant increase in CPR in the last decade. Table 3.2
6
provides the estimated CPR at regional level based on EDHS, 2000, 2005 and 2011 and 95%
confidence interval for them. The Population Policy framed by the Government in 1993 has fixed a
target of achieving CPR of 44 percent by 2015 which is expected to reduce the TFR to 4.0 by that
time. However, Federal Ministry of Health has recently set an ambitious target of reaching CPR of
66% by 2015.

It is clearly seen that there are clear increasing trends in some regions like Amhara, Oromia
and SSNP, the largest regions in terms of population size and the number of women in the
reproductive age group. The CPR is fluctuating or stagnant in Affar, Somali and Dire Dawa.
Population of Affar and Somali have distinctly different cultural and social characteristics compared
to other regions that could impact the acceptance of family planning methods and thus the levels of
CPR.
While the rate of increase in the recent past, if sustained, can result in achieving a CPR of
44 by 2015, it may be noted that the entire future reduction in TFR is not going to be due to
increased use of contraceptives. There are other factors like increasing age at marriage, continued
school enrolment, etc. That would help reducing fertility. It has been estimated, using Bongaarts
model, that with a CPR of 60 percent, with other factors remaining same, TFR would reduce to
about three children per woman2. It should be noted here that the same periodic increments in CPR
can not be sustained longer as there are several new challenges that would have to be surmounted.

EDHS 2000-2011, United Nations Population Fund, Ethiopia
7
These challenges include making younger couples with lower number of children accept family
planning, better coverage in rural areas, reducing people's mentality by which the ideal number of
children desired by couples is reduced from the estimated at 4.3 (EDHS, 2011), etc.. In other
words, the average rate of growth in CPR is unlikely to increase in the future. The current CPR in
the country is at about 29 per cent, slightly below half of the maximum expected level of 65
percent. Around this point, it becomes difficult to get more people to accept family planning
methods, as more of the acceptors have to come from younger ages, who have less number of
children ever born and thus less motivated than those with more children.
It is also possible that the trends in both TFR and CPR may be different from the one
shown by the point estimates, as some the regions have high coefficients of variation for the
estimates. Even at the national level, if the real levels are on the opposite sides of the point
estimates, the trends can be different from that shown by the estimates. It may also be noted that
high correlation between the CPR and TFR from the above tables may be little deceptive as the
CPR relates to the time of the survey while the TFR relates to the 3 year period before the survey (5
year period for DHS 2000).

3.2. Projecting Fertility levels


For preparing population projections, projected fertility levels are required. Some of the
approaches for projecting fertility and connected issues in such exercises are briefly discussed
below.

1. One of the approaches is to link determinants of fertility and their trend and project fertility
levels on the basis of projected values of the determinants. The difficulty in this approach is
that it requires a time series of data on the determinants and policy targets. It may also be
noted that the relationship between the determinants and the fertility levels may not remain
same over time. Even at varying fertility levels the effect of the determinants on fertility
may not be same.
2. Changes in fertility are gradual and do not follow a straight line. In most cases, decline is
initially slow and will become faster for some time before it again slows down. The pace of
decline and the shape of the curve depend on a variety of factors including policies that
promote fertility control, education, age at marriage, etc. Depending on the availability of
data, several types of mathematical models can be used to predict levels of fertility for a
reasonably long period. The accuracy of the predicted levels may depend on whether the
particular model is appropriate for the region/country and also on the reliability of the data.
3. In Ethiopia, the three largest regions, viz., Oromia, Amhara and SNNP account for more
than 80% of the population of the country. The next three regions by population size,,
Tigray, Somali and Addis Ababa share another 15% with only about 4 % of the total
population being shared by the remaining 5 regions. In such a situation, the trends at
national level depend heavily on the three largest regions, with the next three regions
making some impact and the other regions having only marginal impact. Hence errors in
the projections for the smaller regions may not make any impact at the national level,
though it can have serious consequences on the regional level population projections. In

8
view of this, utmost care has to be taken while projecting fertility levels to ensure that they
are realistic as possible.

Considering that there is a high correlation between TFR and CPR and both of them being
expected to have similar patterns of change, with slower changes near the minimum/maximum
values and faster rates of change away from the minimum/maximum values, it appears that similar
mathematical models can be used for both. A logistic model may be best suited to describe the
changes in TFR over time for various regions of the country and at national level. It has the
advantage of simplicity and requires less number of data points to estimate the underlying model
and can represent the actual scenario much better than linear or quadratic equation models.

Table 3.3 shows the results of projecting the TFR and CPR using this model for the period
2010-2040 based on the estimated levels of TFR and CPR from the three DHSs for Ethiopia. In
addition to the DHS data, the target of 44% CPR for TFR of 4.0 by 2015 has also been taken into
account. Since the curve may not fit the data exactly, there would be some difference between data
used and the estimates for DHS years and 2015.

Table 3.3: Projected Levels of CPR and TFR 2010-2040

Year CPR TFR Change during the 5 years


CPR TFR
2010 28.1 4.7
2015 42.1 4.0 14.0 -0.7
2020 53.1 3.5 11.0 -0.5
2025 59.5 3.1 6.4 -0.4
2030 62.6 2.7 3.1 -0.4
2035 64.0 2.5 1.4 -0.2
2040 64.6 2.3 0.6 -0.1

It may be seen that the above TFR for 2015 correspond to the targeted levels of TFR (4.0),
though the corresponding CPR is slightly lower than the targeted level (44%). In actual practice,
the fertility level for the country would be derived as the weighted average of the regional level
projected levels and may be slightly different from the above.

The above modelling uses the national level data. The patterns would be different when
regional level data are used since the fertility changes and contraceptive prevalence are not same
across the regions. There are no targets prescribed for regions in the population policy. As noted
earlier both increase in CPR and decline in fertility are not uniform across the regions. It is possible
that some of the regions where fertility has been declining fast may reach replacement level of
fertility (TFR of about 2.1) by 2040 or even earlier. However, the areas where fertility change is
just starting or where it is slow, would help keep it above that level for the country as a whole.
Though fertility may fall below replacement level in some areas, it is likely that it may come back
to replacement level or fluctuate about that level. The current TFR for Addis Ababa, which is much
9
below fertility level is, possibly, a transient phenomenon aided by significant influx of unmarried
females in the reproductive age group to the city rather than a decline in TFR to that level. The
following paragraphs discuss the possible fertility changes in the regions.

1. Tigray: The fertility levels show some fluctuation and CPR has been below the national
average in all three DHSs. The trends in CPR and TFR indicate that the region may not
achieve the national goals for 2015. The projected levels using the DHS data are indicated
below:

Year 2010 2015 2020 2025 2030 2035 2040


CPR 21.5 28.5 36.0 43.1 49.3 54.1 57.7
TFR 4.7 4.6 4.5 4.4 4.3 4.2 4.1

It appears that there is also a mismatch between increase in CPR and reduction in fertility
and this mismatch is getting extended in the projected levels. This may be partly due to
sampling and non sampling errors in the data. Hence additional assumptions would be
required to get reasonably reliable projected levels. Considering that the TFR is already
lower than the national average, it may not be unreasonable to assume that the TFR, even
with a slower decline, may not lag more than 2-3 years behind the national average of TFR
as the region has more than 35 percent weight at national level. If these are taken into
consideration and the estimation is done assuming that TFR may reach 2.3 by 2043, then
the projected levels of TFR would be as below:

Year 2010 2015 2020 2025 2030 2035


TFR 4.21 3.77 3.37 3.03 2.76 2.55

This is taken as one of the assumption for projections.

2. Amhara: This region has shown the fastest increase in CPR and decline in TFR in the last
decade. If the figures obtained in DHS are used to make a projection then we get the
following values of CPR and TFR

Year 2010 2015 2020 2025 2030 2035


CPR 30.6 45.5 55.9 61.2 63.5 64.4
TFR 4.16 3.53 3.04 2.68 2.45 2.31

The above figures are better than the national goals of CPR (44%) and TFR (4) by 2015. As
the national goals are national averages and it cannot be expected that all regions would
reach the goals simultaneously, it is safe to assume that Amhara region that has shown better
performance would reach the goals earlier. Hence the above has been taken as one of the
assumptions.

3. Oromia: This region also had significant increase in CPR and reduction in TFR in the last
decade. However, it appears that the level of CPR reached by 2010 is low considering the
national target and the relative size of the region. Projection of the observed trends gives the
following results:

Year 2010 2015 2020 2025 2030 2035


CPR 23.9 36.8 48.5 56.5 60.9 63.1
TFR 5.5 5.0 4.5 3.9 3.4 3.0

The estimates show some inconsistency between the CPR and TFR, which is inherited from
the inconsistency in 2010. It would be appropriate to assume that for CPR in the range of
64-65 seen in 2040 would result in TFR of about 2.1-2.2. If such an assumption is added
then the projected figures will be as bow:

Year 2010 2015 2020 2025 2030 2035


TFR 5.40 4.75 4.07 3.46 2.99 2.65

Above figures seem reasonable to be taken as an assumption on the future course of fertility

4. SNNP: This region also shows significant increase in CPR and decline in TFR. If the data
from DHS are used to estimate the future levels then the estimated levels would be as
below:

Year 2010 2015 2020 2025 2030 2035


CPR 22.9 35.9 47.9 56.1 60.8 63.1
TFR 4.91 4.43 3.96 3.53 3.16 2.87

These figures have been used as one of the assumptions.

5. Affar and Somali: Both CPR and TFR have not shown any significant trends. The increase
in CPR is very low. Similarly, the TFR seems to be stagnating at best. The estimates of TFR
from 2011 DHS for Somali may not be usable for projection due to reasons mentioned
earlier while the estimates from census does not seem to suffer from overestimation and can
also be used.
In both Affar and Somali, it appears that the fertility decline is yet to set in. For the purposes of
projection, it has been assumed that the changes seen in other regions may occur here with about 10
year delay.
6. Benishangul-Gumuz and Gambella: There has been significant increase in the CPR in the
recent years in Benishangul-Gumuz. However, the effect of this increase is not reflected in
the TFR which remains almost constant in the last two DHSs. This could partly be due to
sampling variations in the data. The 95% confidence interval for TFR has the lower limit at
4.4. So it is possible that there is an actual fall that could not be identified and estimated. It
11
is also possible that most of the increase in CPR took place towards the end of the last
decade and did not have any serious impact on the fertility which is an average for the three
years prior to the survey.
In Gambella, fertility rates from the last two DHSs are same, though CPR has shown an impressive
increase. If the general trend from the estimates for the three DHS are used it shows fertility
declined slowly in the last decade. Projecting this trend into the future would give a slowly
declining TFR. However, if CPR increases as seen in the data, it should result in faster fertility
decline in the near future.

In both Benishangul-Gumuz and Gambella, it has been assumed that fertility decline would occur
with about a five year delay compared to the other regions.

7. Harari: The TFR and CPR seem to have stagnated over the last few years. It is likely that
the increasing trend in CPR witnessed in the first half of the decade would help further
increase in CPR, though at lower pace in future. The average growth in the previous decade
can result in its increase to about 59 percent by 2040 and reduction of TFR to 2.5.
Considering that the fertility level in the region is already low, this is very much possible
and has been taken as an assumption.

8. Addis Ababa: The estimated TFR is 1.4-1.5 in the last two DHSs, down from 1.9 in the DHS
of 2000. The estimate of 1.8 from ICPS seems more reasonable as it is also consistent with
the estimate using the number of children born in the one year prior to the survey (without
any adjustment). This level is also below the replacement level of about 2.1 children per
woman. It is unlikely that this low level would continue for long. It may increase to about
1.9-2.0 children in the long run. The assumptions have been based on the pace of such
increase.

9. Dire Dawa: Both CPR and TFR seems to be stagnating. The reasons for this situation are
not very clear. Being a region that is predominantly urban, it can be expected that both
increase in CPR and decline in TFR would resume in the near future, as other factors, like
education, service delivery, etc., are favourable. It has been assumed that the fertility would
reach close to replacement level by 2030.

Alternate scenarios:
It would be appropriate to formulate more than one alternative set of projections as it
would give the program mangers an idea of the likely variation in projected population in case of
the fertility transition takes a different path and would help them to plan for the eventualities. This
is also important as the estimates of TFR used for projection are based on sample surveys and thus
have inherent sampling fluctuations and could have somewhat affected and estimates prepared
based on the trends. The following paragraphs discuss the possibilities.

The above discussion was basically assuming that the trend observed in the past would
continue as such notwithstanding the efforts of the Government to increase the levels of CPR
resulting in rapid reduction of TFR. One alternate scenario can be based on the assumption that
targets set by the National Population Policy are achieved. However, considering the current levels
of CPR/TFR in various regions, it can be safely concluded that all regions will not achieve the
12
population policy targets at the same period. It would therefore be appropriate to assume that the
target of TFR of 4.0 would be reached by the regions earlier if the national targets are to be met.
Hence one set of projections, termed Low as it refers to lower estimates of TFR, are based on the
assumptions that the regions would reach the levels about five years earlier than the estimates
arrived at as per the earlier discussions. This set of assumptions would also result in lower
projected population in future.

It is possible that future declines in fertility are much slower than what was observed in the
past because of the difficulties in ensuring that more and more couples accept family planning
methods. It would take some time for consolidating the gains made and take the levels of CPR to
higher levels. In such a situation, it would be possible that there is a further lag of about 5-8 years
in achieving the levels of TFR observed for 2037 in the projections based on current trends. The
estimate of TFR based on this has been used as a third alternative termed as High as this result in
higher fertility and consequently higher projected population. The projections based on the earlier
discussions have been termed as Medium.

Since technological developments in the area of contraceptives, increasing levels of


education, urbanization, higher rural connectivity through better road network, etc., have direct and
indirect effects on fertility levels, there is a distinct possibility that towards the third decade of the
30 year projection period and it may result in faster fertility decline leading to the achievement of
the goal of replacement level of fertility. However, at this point of time it is difficult to quantify the
likely changes.

The target of Ministry of Health to achieve reaches CPR of 66 per cent by 2015 needs
consideration. In case this target is achieved, the levels of fertility in 2016 in various regions would
be determined by the ideal number of children as per the people and the desired fertility level as it is
difficult to have changes in other determinants of fertility in such a short time. The EDHS3 have
estimated that the mean ideal number of children as 4.3 per woman and the Total wanted fertility
rate as 3.0. Considering the difficulties in achieving the target of 66% CPR so fast, and also the
possibility that this increase in CPR may not bring a drastic reduction in TFR immediately, no
alternative projections have been prepared based on the assumption that these targets may be
achieved. However, it may be noted that in case the strategies followed by Ministry of Health for
increasing contraception becomes successful even with a short delay, it would have long term
impact as the Government would be able to concentrate on other determinants of fertility decline to
bring in accelerated decline. This may reduce the child population in the years beyond 2017.

The difference in projected population based on the three assumptions would not be very
different in the initial years. As indicated earlier, target set for reducing fertility to 4.0 by 2015 has
the chance of not being reached in view of the difficulties in sustaining the growth in contraceptive
prevalence and also due to various other issues as indicated earlier. Hence, it is recommended that
the projections corresponding to the Medium assumption may be used for all planning purposes.

Table 3.4 summarizes the estimated fertility levels for all the assumptions at national and
regional level.

Projection of fertility would also require the age pattern of fertility. The 2007 census
collected data on births in the previous year. Assuming that there have not been any serious
reporting errors by age in that data, it can be used as the age pattern of fertility at the start of the
projection period. However, by the end of the projection period the pattern would undergo
significant changes. As age at marriage goes up and the young couple postpone child births, the
proportion births in the age group 15-19 would reduce. Similarly, as a result of the females limiting
total number of births, the proportion of births to women in the higher age groups would also
reduce. Table 5 gives a comparison of the distribution of the fertility from the Demographic and
Health Surveys and ICPS 2012 for Amhara that has shown highest fall in fertility and Addis Ababa
where fertility is the lowest. It can be seen the estimates for the country from DHS 2000, 2011 and
Census 2007 are similar. The pattern is different for Addis Ababa and Amhara.

A comparison of the figures with the United Nations model patterns indicate that at lower
levels of fertility, the pattern is different from that for similar fertility levels for Sub-Saharan Africa.
It has been assumed that, over the years, the distribution would tend to become similar to that of
Addis Ababa, which is an observed pattern from within the country. Though Addis Ababa is fully
urban, when fertility comes to such low levels, there would not be significant differences between
the patterns in rural and urban areas.

The readers may note that projecting the future course of fertility change is a difficult task
as only limited data are available for the past, some them having high coefficients of variation. The
impact of cultural factors that may affect the adaptation of family planning is also difficult to assess
for the present as well as for the future. Thus, though fertility change is the most important factor
14
that will affect the population change in the country and the regions except Addis Ababa, there is a
high amount of uncertainty associated with it. In view of this the fertility projections and
consequently the projected population figures should be used keeping in view the possibility of
such variations.

PROJECTION OF MORTALITY
In a society, not affected by migration, mortality is the only factor that reduces population.
In any population mortality rates change by age and sex. In developing countries, mortality rates at
young ages, specifically that of infants (below one year of age) and children (below 5 years) is high.
The mortality rates initially decline by age and reach the minimum in the early twenties before it
starts increasing. The expectation of life at birth tries to summarise the mortality rates. However, it
is to be borne in mind that different mortality patterns can result in the same expectation of life.
This situation can occur in large countries like Ethiopia, where mortality some age groups changes
differently in some regions as a result of specific policies and programs. For example a region,
with high inputs for reducing infant and child mortality would, after some time, have a different
mortality pattern from a region that did not have such a program or where cultural practices
prevented such programs from realising its full impact. However, in the absence of reliable data on
mortality it is difficult to analyse such possibilities in the country.

In general, mortality changes are gradual, and normally within a given pattern. This makes
it comparatively easy to project mortality patterns into the future. The model patterns of mortality
are used for projecting the age specific survival chances. The following paragraphs describe the
procedure for projection of mortality.

4.1 Sources of data


As the country does not have a Civil Registration System or surveys that produce regular
vital statistics, the only sources of data on mortality are population censuses and occasional surveys.
Though the Demographic and Health Surveys also produced some estimates they were restricted to
infant and child mortality. In both census and ICPS questions on any death that occurred in the
previous year in the household was asked. These questions included age and sex of the deceased
also. The data collected in this questionnaire formed the basis for estimating mortality levels.
These data could suffer from some underestimation due to errors in the reference period as well as
due to the inherent difficulty in discussing about death of the dear ones with the respondents.

The completeness of the mortality data was evaluated using growth balance model.
Significant levels of under-enumeration of deaths were noted during the analysis. The reported age
sex mortality patterns we then adjusted for under-enumeration so that reliable estimates are
available. A similar exercise was carried out with data collected from the Intercensal Population
Survey (ICPS), 2012 also. Table 4.1 presents the estimated life expectancy from these sources. As
the ICPS was conducted in a small sample only in all regions other than Amhara and Addis Ababa,
sampling errors for the age specific death rates are high. In fact in some regions no deaths were
recorded in some age groups for a particular sex either in urban or rural areas. Estimation of the
rates in such cases had to depend on model patterns.

4.2 Method of projection and projected expectation of life


It is seen from the table that the expectation of life in the country has increased during
2007-12. This shows that the mortality situation is improving. DHS 2011 also had noted decline in
child mortality levels and this would aid the increase in life expectancy levels. The gain in life
expectancy is not uniform in all regions. Affar and Dire Dawa have shown lowest gains in life
expectancy. This could be partly be due to the difficulty in measurement of the gains through the
small samples. In Affar, in addition to the small samples, there were some resettlement programs
that affected the sampling frame that in effect could have affected the variability of the results. In
some of the other regions, the gain during 2007-12 is too high compared to the standards expected
at such levels of expectation of life. While part of it may have to do with sampling errors, the
methodological issues in adjusting the age specific death rates for omission of deaths also could
have contributed to the variations. In view of this the estimates based on census have been used as
the base estimates of mortality levels.

For preparing population projections the level of mortality measured through life
expectancy is required for the base period as well as the subsequent years. Normally the gain in life
expectancy during a period depends on the health programmes, access to health care, etc. These
have been improving in the country. Another factor that affects the quantum of the gain in life
expectancy is the mortality level itself. While significantly high gains can be expected in a short
period at higher levels of mortality, the rate of increase in expectation of life decreases as life
expectancy increases. United Nations have provided a model pattern of likely increase in
expectation of life under three different scenarios at various levels of life expectancy. These are
shown in table 4.2.

82.5 - 85.0 0.0 0.5 0.0 0.4 0.0 0.3
85.0 - 87.5 0.0 0.5 0.0 0.4 0.0 0.3

These patterns can be used for projecting the expectation of life for the projection period.
With several initiatives in the health sector, both in terms of infrastructure and health professionals,
there is no reason to believe that Ethiopia would take the slow path. However, the country still
needs better access to health care facilities in rural areas where the road networks and
communication facilities needs a lot of improvement. Similarly, cultural barriers to modern
medicine, people leaving behind age old good practices in the name of modernization, etc., may
also have a dampening impact on the efforts to increase life expectancy. In view of these the
'Middle Rise' pattern has been used for projecting mortality. The projection also requires the likely
age pattern of mortality in the future years. There are several model patterns of mortality available.
These include the Coale Demeny Model Life Tables4, The United Nations Model Life Tables5 and
the In-Depth6 Model Life tables. Each of these contains different patterns of mortality for any
given expectation of life. For example while one pattern has higher infant and child mortality
another may have higher adult mortality. The experts are of the opinion that in the absence of
sufficient information to the contrary, Coale Demeny 'North' model pattern may be used for
Ethiopia. Hence these have been used in working out the projections.

It may be noted that the base estimates have been arrived at using indirect techniques of
adjusting the reported death rates. Due to the inherent methodological issues and quality of data

used for estimation, there is the possibility of some variations in these estimates from the estimated
levels from the true levels of mortality. Thus, though the scale of improvement in mortality used
for projecting the expectation of life may be robust, the projected levels of mortality may not be
accurate. This would contribute to the variation in the projected population from the actual
population size. The variations can be higher in some regions and age groups. In view of this the
readers should take the estimates with some amount of caution.

Chapter 5

MIGRATION
Migration plays an important role in population change and its projection is an important
element in arriving at reasonably reliable population estimates into the future. Most of the
migrations happen from less developed regions to more developed areas. These would include rural
to urban migration or migration to regions where industrial activity is increasing resulting in
creation of new jobs. Sometimes, availability of fertile land for agriculture or new irrigation
facilities can encourage people, who are dependent on agriculture, to migrate to such regions, even
though they are not otherwise developed. This chapter discusses the projection of the number of
migrants. Although natural disasters and calamities, civil unrest, etc., can also lead to large scale
migration, these can not be predicted and is not within the scope of this discussion.

5.1 Sources of data


The 2007 census collected data on migration by asking each individual about his place of
birth and if he had resided at any place outside the place of enumeration. Similar information were
collected in the ICPS 2012 also. As the projection exercise is planned to project the population at
regional level only, the migration within the regions across weredas and zones is not of interest in
the foregoing discussions.

Both the proportion persons born and who were residing outside the country in the past
have been estimated to be 0.05 per cent only as per the ICPS, 2012. This is a very small proportion
and considering that there would also be some persons who are migrating out of the country, the
impact of international migration does not seem to be of any significance for projecting the
population of Ethiopia. Hence it has been assumed to be zero for working out the population
projections.

Data on inter-regional migration are required to get an idea of in and out migration from
various regions of the country. Such data are not available from 2007 census. The ICPS 2012
provides these information. However, it may be noted that due to small sample size in the regions
other than Addis Ababa and Amhara, the estimates for other regions would have higher sampling
variability. Table 5.1 provides data on in and out migrants for each region as a proportion of the
current population of the region. The data are provided separately for all migrants and those who
have lived at the current place of residence for less than 5 years. In other words, the latter category
of people has migrated to the current place of residence within the last five years and hence they are
classified as recent migrants.

It is noticed that some of the regions have comparatively large proportion of migrants.
However, the relative order of the regions in terms of migrants changes between all migrants and
recent migrants, indicating the shift in migration pattern in terms of origin and destination in the
recent years. The distribution of all migrants is also affected by mortality among those who
migrated in the past, some migrants going to other areas and return migration. In view of this, the
data relating to recent migrants are more useful to provide a snapshot of the current situation.
Though it would have been preferable to have the data relating migration in the last one year, it is

21
better to take a five year average as it would help reduce the effect of digital preferences in
reporting as well as reduce the sampling fluctuations.

For the purposes of projection it is assumed that the above rates would continue to apply
for most of the regions. In case of Affar and Gambella, where commercial farming seems to be
attracting migration, it was felt that the current situation of net in-migration may continue for
sometime. Though as a proportion of the population of the region, the rates appears high, in
absolute numbers they are not very high as may be seen later. Table 5.2 provides the estimated
number of migrants (net of in-migration and out-migration) in each region in a year assuming that
the one fifth of the rates shown in table 5.1 applies for each year.

The table 5.2 indicates that on an average during 2007-08, Amhara region would be losing
38,000 people due to migration whereas Addis Ababa would be gaining 25,000 due to migration.
About 9,000 people leave SNNP while Dire Dawa and Affar are getting about 6,000 people in an
year. These figures are for the initial years and would increase later as they are calculated at the
same proportion of the population every year. It is likely that even in the short term there are
factors that change the migration patterns across the regions. However, it is not possible to make
any forecasts on such changes.

Note: '-' sign indicate net out-migration.

Migration does not happen at all ages in the same manner. Normally it is concentrated in
the early working ages. This needs to be taken into consideration in the projections. Similarly the
gender break up of migrants is also not same as that of the total population. For this purpose, the
male female distribution of the net migrants has been taken from ICPS 2012 as the same are not
available from census 2007. The age distribution of the migrants has also been taken from the
survey as it provides a more recent age pattern. The same age distribution of migrants has been
used in all regions, though there may be some differences across regions. The age distribution of
only those who migrated during the five years prior to the survey has been used as they would
represent the recent trends in age pattern of migrants.

As indicated earlier projecting migration is not easy as it depends on various socio-cultural


and economic factors. The assumptions on migration used here are not based on any detailed
studies on the subject and are very subjective. This can result in the projected population being
different in regions where migration is important. While making any comparison of the projected
population with future census counts or even while using the projections for such regions, there is
need for some amount of caution.

Chapter 6
PROJECTION URBAN POPULATION

The growth of urban population occurs on account of four factors, viz., natural growth,
migration, emergence of new towns and expansion of new towns. It is almost impossible to
measure these components for the past and project them separately into the future. So a method
that takes into consideration the net effect of all these is required.
Projection of urban and rural population is done by projecting the proportion of urban
population based on the assumptions regarding pace of urbanization. United Nations have prosed
projection of the Urban-Rural Growth Differential (URGD) which measures the tempo of
urbanization as a method of population projection (Manual VII: Methods of Projecting Urban and
Rural Population). While the method can be used for projections, it requires the possible future
course of urbanization.
The Population Policy mentions, Reducing the rate of rural to urban migration under the
heading General Objectives. Under the policy, the Federal Ministry of Urban Development and
Construction is responsible to Design medium to long-term plans for the development of
intermediate towns and cities in the context of general urban master plans to stem uncontrollable
rural to urban migration. While these objectives have the intention to ensure that too many people
do not migrate to urban areas and that people should be provided employment nearer to home
within commutable distances., it may be noted that the level of urbanization can also increase
without having too much of migration to urban areas. This happens when rural economy improves
resulting in the development of urban centres that provide trade and service facilities to the rural
population. Setting up of agriculture based small and micro enterprises would also contribute to
urbanization without adding much to migration. As educational level in rural areas increases and
people adapt labour saving technologies in agriculture, the employment dependent on agriculture
would reduce and this would also spur urbanization.
If urban and rural population in a given region continues to grow at the same rate then the
proportion of urban population would remain constant. When urban population grows faster the
proportion of urban population would also increase. The difference in the growth rate between rural
and urban areas would include the effect of all factors, such as natural growth, migration,
emergence of new urban areas and expansion of boundaries of existing urban areas. Let Tt, Ut, and
Rt be the total, urban and rural population at time t. Then, Pt, the proportion of urban population at
Ut
P t=
time t can be expressed as, Tt
This can be simplified using the initial ratio of urban and rural population and the differential
between urban and rural growth rates and written as,
U 0 dt
( e )
R0
P t=
U 0 dt
( 1+ e )
R0 , where dt is the difference between urban and rural growth rates (Urban Rural
Growth Differential URGD) for the time period. In this method one need to make assumptions only
about the likely course the URGD (dt in the above expression) would take in the future. The
possibilities are as below:

24
1. The tempo of urbanization remains as in the past: Though the overall growth may change
in the region, the difference between urban and rural growth remains same. In such a case
continuance of the observed URGD into the future can be assumed.
2. The tempo of urbanization increases for sometime till the level of urbanization reaches a
certain level. In this case an increasing the URGD would be assumed in the short term and
till the proportion urban reaches a pre-determined level after which there will be a slow
down in urbanization with URGD slowly coming down.
Ethiopia has a low level of urbanization. It is possible that most of the urban growth that
has been recorded during 1994-2007 have happened in the second half of the period after
Government policies helped the growth of small towns. In this situation it would, probably, be
appropriate to assume that the urban growth will be much higher in the post 2007 period.
Government policies on infrastructure development may aid faster urbanization.
Table 6.1 provides the urban and rural population, proportion of urban population and
growth rates during 1994-2007 at region level. The URGD are also presented.

Since it is difficult to predict the course of urbanization, it would be useful to look at two
scenarios slowly increasing urbanization and faster increase in urbanization. Table 6.2 gives a
summary of the assumptions for each region. As Addis Ababa is already 100%urban, it is not
shown in the table.
It may be noted that the rural growth rates were higher than the corresponding urban
figures in Harari and Dire Dawa during 1994-2007. This may have occurred due to influx of
migrants into the rural areas and new settlements coming up just outside the urban limits, which are
basically an expansion of the urban area that are yet to be recognized as urban. Since the areas and

25
the population sizes are small, even a little change on the above lines may have its impact on the
growth rates.
In both Harari and Dire Dawa, urbanization may increase in future due to either or both of
the following:
1. Emergence of new urban areas which are currently rural.
2. Inclusion of the population just outside the periphery of the existing towns into the urban
limits
It is possible that formal recognition of the above types of areas as urban may take some time.
However, in a projection exercise we have to assume that the change is gradual, unless there are
enough justifications do otherwise. In view of this it has been assumed that the URGD may
become 0.5% in the period 2007-12, 0.75% for next five years and 1.0% thereafter. An alternate
assumption used is that URGD would be 0.5% for the first five years and would increase by 0.25%
every five years.
The urban and rural areas have shown almost similar growth in Somali. It is likely that the
urban population may grow faster than the rural population in the future, the pace slowly going up.
We may assume that URGD may increase by 50% of that observed during 1994-07 in each five
year period. Alternatively, it can be assumed that URGD would be increasing gradually over the
period, starting with URGD of 0.5% in the initial five year period, going up to 1.75% by 2032-37.
In Affar, Benishangul-Gumuz and Gambella the urban population have grown significantly
faster than the rural population during 1994-2007. As the urban population was very small in 1994,
even small changes would have affected the growth rates. Unless there are external evidences that
factors for rapid urbanization are present in the region, it may not be proper to assume that the same
pace of urbanization would continue into the future. Hence it is assumed that urbanization may
continue at same rate for next 5 years (2007-2012) and at 75% of that rate for the period 2012-17.
Thereafter it is assumed that pace of urbanization may be reduced and URGD may be 50% of that
during 1994-2007. An alternate assumption is that the high pace of urbanization witnessed during
1994-2007 would continue in the future. However, as high URGD is not sustainable, it has been
capped at 5%.
SNNP has a comparatively higher rate of urbanization during 1994-2007 resulting in a
URGD of 3.48 per cent per annum. The continuation of this URGD has been assumed to last
during for the first decade of the projection period. For the remaining two decades, it has been
assumed that URGD would come down gradually by 20% every five years. An alternative
assumption used is the continuance of the same URGD throughout the period.
For all other regions, it is likely that the tempo of urbanization would increase in the
future. It can be assumed that the Urban-Rural growth differential would go up by 50% of that
observed during 1994-2007. However, since the urbanization levels are lower there is possibility
that the pace of urbanization would go up much more rapidly. So an alternate scenario can be that
URGD would double during the first decade and continue at that level for the remain projection
period. In both cases the possible URGD may be limited to 6 per cent, that is urban areas may grow
faster compared to rural areas and the difference in growth rate may not exceed 6% per annum. As
the overall growth rate is likely to be about 2 per cent or lower per annum, 6% URGD may be
achieved in some cases only when rural growth rate becomes negative, which is a rare possibility in
larger regions. The rate of increase in URGD assumed in these scenarios is purely arbitrary as there

26
are no clear guidance or policy statements that would help quantifying the likely change.
Table 6.2 provides the projected urban proportions at region level with the above
assumptions. As Addis Ababa is 100 per cent urban, there is no need to project the urban population
separately.

The total urban population would be determined as the sum of the urban population in all
regions. It may be noted that the growth of urban population is slow in the larger regions of Somali,
Oromia, Amhara, and SNNP. As these regions are comparatively large, it brings down the overall
urban proportion. However, considering that these regions also contain large agricultural areas, the
urbanization cannot happen very fast.
The projection of urban population by age is based on the proportion of urban population
in each age group in the base year.
An average of the urban population from the above two scenarios is presented as a
'medium urbanization' scenario. The estimates of urban population based on the three scenarios
have been worked out only for the medium fertility assumption assumptions. However, using the
above proportions and the projected population based on other assumptions the projected urban
population can be worked out by data users.
Implementation of the GTP with objectives of increasing employment generation in urban
areas is likely to result in higher rural to urban migration and thus faster urbanization. On the other
hand the plans to increase incomes in rural areas can also result in reduction in rural to urban
migration. Hence the path that urbanization may take is unclear now. This has to be kept in view
while using the projected urban population.

Chapter 7

PROJECTED POPULATION
This chapter discusses some of the important results of the projection exercise including
some of the implications for policy and program planning. As indicated in the previous chapters,
the uncertainties associated with each component of population projections, namely, fertility,
mortality and migration, are substantial. Though some of these may average out for the country as
a whole, it still can result in the actual population being different from the projected population.
The variations are likely to be higher in the smaller regions on account of the sampling variability
associated with the estimates used for projecting the components, as well as the possibility of the
migration patterns changing due to Government policies, developments in the region, etc.. In view
of this the data users may consider these projections only as an indicator of population change
under the given assumptions.

Table 7.1 provides the projected population of the country for various years under the three
assumptions as well as the urban population under the assumption of medium pace of urbanization
and corresponding to medium projections. The projection results of the country and regions under
three assumptions by sex and age groups are presented in Annexture 1.

2037 136,792 142,577 127,460 42,388 31.1

The population of Ethiopia may reach 128 to 143 million as per these projections. The
assumption of slow decline in fertility indicates that the population can be as high as 143 million
whereas the medium and low fertility assumptions indicate that the population can reach 137
million or 143 million. This difference indicates the impact that slower fertility decline, mostly due
to slower increase in contraceptive usage can result in a 30 year time frame. The decline in fertility,
even at a slow pace, would prevent the country from doubling its population in the 30 year period
of projection.
The urban population would show a substantial increase from about 11.9 million to 42.4
million, i.e., about 3.5 times the number in 2007. The proportion of urban population may almost
double from 16.1 to 31.1 per cent. It may be pointed out that projections of urban population are
more hazardous as it depends on several factors. The projections, even for a short period of 10

28
years, can very easily go wrong. Hence the users should consider these only as indicative of the
likely trends the population growth can take.
Table 7.2 provides the projected population by age group in the base year and under the
three assumptions in 2037. The figures show the change in the age pattern if the fertility changes
follow different paths.

As the main difference between the three assumptions is on the path that fertility change
would take in the future, the differences in the projected population are on account of the
differences in the number of children born since 2007 and surviving till the various dates of
projection. It can be seen that if the fertility decline follows the medium path, then there would be
about 13.7 million children aged 0-4 years in 2037, about 14 per cent above the base level.
However, if fertility decline is slower than the number of children can be as much as 15.2 million,
which is about 25% higher than the number in 2007. These points to the possible higher
requirements in terms of programs for child health, nutrition, schooling, etc. One redeeming factor
that can be seen on examination of the projected population by age for various years is that the
growth rate in number of children is slowly coming down on account of fertility decline and it
seems to be on the path of stabilization by 2037.

The proportion of children among the population shows a declining trend. The percentage
of children aged 0-14 years would come down from about 43.8% in 2007 to 27-34 per cent
depending the path of fertility decline. This is a welcome sign as it would mean less number of
children per population in the working age or a lower dependency ratio (young).

29
The number of people in the working age group may increase from about 39 million in
2007 to about 86.5-91.2 million in 30 years. The growth rate of population in the working age
group is much higher than that of the total population. Though it is likely that larger number of
people in the age group 15-24 would be in educational institutions, there will still be a high growth
rate in the economically active population. This would mean that the country has to plan for
providing employment to a much larger number of people. This increase is on account of the
demographic dividend. Unless this dividend can be well utilized for the overall economic
development of the society, it can lead to several social and economic problems. Adaptation of
labour saving technologies in agriculture may result in almost no growth of employment
opportunities the agriculture sector. In addition, the new generation that would better educated
would have to be provided jobs that are relevant to their educational levels.

In 2007, about 3.3% of the population was aged 65 years and above (elderly population).
There would be tremendous growth in the number from 2.5 million in 2007 to about 6.4 million in
2037, an increase of about 2.5 times in 30 years. This fast increase in the number of elderly people
would create demand for several types of services for them. As they would still be small in number
and scattered all over the country, it would require careful planning to ensure that their requirements
are met. There would be significant proportion among them who would be economically active and
require suitable opportunities to make use of their skills and experience.

Annexure 2

Minutes of the Expert consultation on Population Projections held on 21st March 2012

An expert consultation on population projections was held on 21st March 2012 at Harmony
Hotel, Addis Ababa. The Consultation was chaired by Mr Biratu Yigezu, Deputy Director General,
CSA and was attended by invitees from NGOs and International organizations. The list of
participants is given in the Annex.

In his opening remarks, Mr. Biratu explained the need for a revised set of population
projections. He mentioned the fact that the population projections have not been revised after the
2007 census and that it is time to move on leaving the controversies relating to that census behind as
many Government Ministries and other data users need estimates of population for the present and
the future for their planning and policy formulations. He explained the rationale for organizing the
consultation and indicated the main areas where CSA would like inputs from the experts base
level estimates and assumptions regarding fertility, mortality, migration and urbanization. He also
requested for suggestions on how to educate the lay data users on what the projections are, since
the past experience indicates that many people seem to consider it as a gold standard against which
even the census figures are compared.

After the opening remarks, a short presentation was made on the issues that are to be
discussed. A short note containing the same issues and some data were circulated to the participants
for their reference. The issues were then taken up one by one. The gist of the discussions under
various topics is given in the following paragraphs.

Method of projection and period

The issues discussed under this section are:

What should be the method of projecting country level and national level figures. The options
are:
A top down approach where the country level figures are projected and consistent
projections are prepared at sub-national levels subsequently. This has the advantage that
the estimates for fertility and mortality, based on sample surveys, are more stable at
national level.
Bottoms up approach where the population is projected independently for each of the
regions and the results are added up to get the national level figures.
What should be the period of projections short, medium or long term.

It was explained that in case of the making national level projections first and then working out
regional level projections, one method of achieving consistency would be to pro-rata adjust the
regional level estimates to confirm to the national level figures. Some of the participants preferred
the bottoms up approach. After discussions it was decided that the estimates need be worked out
independently at regional and national levels and the differences and the reasons therefore may be
examined before taking a decision.

Regarding the period of projections it was felt that even though the short term projections would be

168
more reliable in terms of accuracy, many of the data users including Government would require
figures for a longer period for perspective planning exercises. As far as long term projections are
concerned it was felt that it may not be worth the effort as it is difficult to predict the path the
parameters would take. Taking the data requirements and technical aspects it was suggested that
CSA may continue the past practice of having a 30 year projection. It was also suggested that the
limitations of the projections for longer period may be clearly brought out in the report.

Fertility:
The base levels of fertility and the likely levels during the projection period were discussed
under this topic. As fertility levels would have higher impact on future population than mortality
levels, it was felt necessary to ensure that the base levels and future estimates are good.

The fertility estimates from 2007 census based on the questions on children ever born (life
time fertility) and births in the previous year are higher than the estimates from EDHS 2005 and
2011. The estimates from EDHS and the preliminary estimates from the Intercensal Population
Survey 2012 based on the data on birth history are somewhat consistent. In view of this, it was felt
necessary to discuss the issue in detail. The participants were informed that the preliminary
estimates of fertility from the Inter Censal Population Survey 2012, used data on birth history and
the same methodology as in DHS.

One of the opinions was that avoiding census estimates may have consequences on the
public perception on the reliability of census data. It was however pointed out that only the indirect
estimates would not be used. The basic population figures and age distribution would form the
basis of the projections. It was suggested to have a re-look at the methodologies and also that the
consistency with past census data may give some indications.

The indirect methods of estimation used from census were explained in some detail. It was
explained that when the estimates appeared to be very high the entire estimation process was gone
into in detail by national and international demographers. In the methods based on comparing
current fertility with life time fertility, there is a possibility of overestimating fertility when fertility
is falling. If not all, part of the difference can be attributed to that. It was indicated that if the same
indirect methods used with census data are applied to DHS data, it also gives a higher estimate.

It was the general opinion that the DHS data on births would be of better quality compared
to census due to the method of data collection, training to enumerators, and the type of supervision
and editing of the data in the field.

It was pointed out that using a lower estimate of fertility for population projections, if it
does not represent the correct level, would have serious consequences. It would result in plans
being made for a lower population (especially smaller number of children) resulting in shortages
even in the immediate future.

The Government has set certain targets on contraceptive prevalence and corresponding
reduction in fertility and are making all out efforts to achieve these targets. These also should be
taken into consideration while estimating the future levels.

Efforts were made by Futures Group some time earlier to look at the trends in fertility
levels using RAPID models that take into consideration various aspects relating to fertility decline.
It was suggested that these can also be taken into consideration.

169
A more detailed analysis may be made of the fertility levels estimated from ICPS 2012 was
suggested. How the other countries, that used DHS data instead of census data on fertility, could
argue for such a course of action may also be looked into so that proper justification can be given in
the report for not using the census estimates.

Mortality:

The discussions centred on the following questions:

1. Whether the levels of mortality in terms of the expectation of life at birth appear
reasonable at national and regional level?
2. The increments in expectation of life that should be assumed in the future for males and
females
3. The model life tables should be used for making population projections

The estimates estimated life expectancy from ICPS 2012 are higher by 3-4 years at
national level compared to the corresponding estimates from census 2007. The estimates from both
for Affar, Harari, Addis Ababa and Dire Dawa are significantly higher than those for other regions.
While the high proportion of urban population having better access to health facilities could be a
reason for the higher figures in Harari, Addis Ababa and Dire Dawa, such reasoning does not apply
to Affar. It was felt that there may may cultural and other factors that help in reducing mortality in
Affar.

Normally at the level of life expectancy noted for most of the regions one can expect an
improvement in the region of 0.5 years per annum (2.5 years in a five year period) in the life
expectancy at birth. The slightly higher improvement seen between 2007 (census) and 2012 (ICPS)
may be partly due to the sampling errors inherent in the estimates based on the ICPS 2012. Since
the projections would be based on 2007 population data, it was felt that the estimates from census
that is closer to the base year can be used as the starting point for mortality projection.

Regarding the model life table to be used for projections, the initial feeling was that instead
of West Model, the North Model may be used. The In-Depth model specially suited for African
mortality situations was also considered. However, as doubts were expressed whether the
Population Projection software Spectrum can use them, it was decided to restrict the
consideration to those models usable with the Spectrum software.

It was suggested that the consistency between life expectancy, IMR and child mortality
levels (U5MR) in the model life tables should be checked before making a final decision on the
specific model to be used.

Migration

The only source of data that could give some indication of the trends in migration is the
Inter Censal Population Survey. The data from these survey indicated that Gambella, Benishangul-
Gumuz and Affar had substantial net in-migration in the recent years. Whether these regions have
potential to absorb migrants of the scale indicated by the survey was considered in detail.

It was explained that a number of mechanised agricultural farms are being set up in these
areas. These would be bringing in labour from other regions. Since the population size of these

170
regions are comparatively small the rates of migration appear to be large. It is possible that the
migration rates may not continue at the observed levels for long.

It was a general opinion that the future migration rates would depend highly on the
Government policies regarding investment and also the local population's attitude towards in-
migrating people. One suggestion was to assume the present levels for the above regions only for
the first decade of the projection period and assume that the rates would come down in the future. It
was also suggested that the ICPS data may be further analysed to see whether clear trends emerge
from the data so that the assumptions on migration patterns can be fine tuned.

Urbanization

The country is at a very low level of urbanization and the Government policies on
industrialization and GTP may result in much faster urbanization compared to the past. During
1994-2007, urban population growth rate was higher than that of rural growth rates by about 1.5
percentage points annually. If urbanization increases this difference is likely to increase.

There is a need to look into the plans and policies formulated by the Ministry of Urban
Development also.

It was informed that some work on urbanization prospects with a detailed analysis of the
policies was done by Futures Group. It was suggested that these may be looked into and
appropriate rates of urban growth arrived at.

HIV/AIDS

The importance of HIV/AIDS for a projection exercise considering the low levels of HIV
prevalence in the country was discussed. One specific question was whether the mortality pattern
assumed will take care of HIV also. It was pointed out that even at a low level of incidence, it can
result in some significant effect on the age distribution in the future, though the overall impact on
the population size may be very small.

The model life tables used for projections would not take care of HIV related mortality
properly as HIV has impact on the affected population and the children as well.

It was explained that the In Depth model life tables include life tables for low and high
prevalence of HIV. However, it can not be used with the Spectrum software.

It was also suggested that HIV prevalence rates of 2 per cent can not be considered as low.
If funds for controlling HIV are not sustained, there is a likelihood of the rates going up even.

It was suggested that different scenarios with possibly different levels HIV may be worked
out and the results be examined. A decision on inclusion or otherwise may be made after examining
the results.

Geographic level for projections

The lowest geographic levels at which projections are to be made was discussed in detail.
While there is a demand for projections at Wereda level, there are inherent difficulties due to non

171
availability of enough data and the comparatively fluid nature of population growth at such small
levels making such an exercise difficult. CSA has been publishing population estimates at Wereda
level using mathematical methods.

It was recognised by all participants that wereda level estimates are required. There was
also a consensus that wereda level projections need not be part of the national and regional level
projections. One suggestion was that CSA can prepare the wereda level estimates and provide it to
data users on demand. It can also continue to publish them in the Statistical Abstract.

It was pointed out that Regions have been making their own estimates for new weredas or
where wereda boundaries have changed. It was suggested that CSA may provide some technical
assistance to the Regions in preparing such estimates based on sound techniques and also to ensure
uniformity in methodology across the regions. It was felt necessary to involve other Government
sectors also in such an exercise to provide support.

One of the suggestions was to involve the Statistical Council in ensuring that same
methodologies are used across the country.

Conclusion

The participants were requested that any additional suggestions/comments that they have
may be sent to CSA as early as possible. It was specifically requested that ways on how to educate
the lay data users need be thought of and participants may communicate any ideas on this aspect to
CSA.

The meeting ended with a vote of thanks to all participants and the chair.
